Acerca de este producto

Product Information

In this book, Portmann argues that especially since 9/11, the reality of sin has made a strong comeback. Even liberal Christians such as Bishop Sprong have to take the pervasiveness of personal evil doing seriously. The book starts off in the present and then loops back into the past to outline the key moments in the history of sin from the Ancient Greeks and Israelites through Jesus and Paul to Augustine and Dante and then back to the present day.

Reviews
In this most original and thought-provoking book, Portmann persuasively shows that humans will always sin, though they may attempt to decrease the number and the seriousness of such sins. A must-read, and not only for sinners., The terror and trauma of 9/11 raised questions about the reality of evil and the notion of sin, concepts that had all but faded from public discourse at the opening of the 21st century. In this informative, readable survey, Portmann traces the evolution of sin from the present to the past. . . . Recommended without reservation for both academic and public libraries., In this lively, thoughtful, and well-researched book, Portmann demonstrates that sin does have a history and that in the last half century or so people have paid less and less attention to sin and its historical twin, absolution, as a result of suffering from sin fatigue, a weariness of heart from the effort not to sin and the time spent in seeking absolution. After chronicling the way that both masturbation and lack of chastity have ceased to be seen as sins, he looks with sly irony at various contemporary activities that he sees as part of 'sin's vast future.' But Portmann reserves his most careful, indeed dazzlingly sensitive argument for the proposition that the feeling of some white students that affirmative action in higher education has harmed them is but a reflection of their inability to name the sin perpetrated by their elders who fashioned a remedy for their misdeeds the pain of which they do not have to bear. It alone is a sucker punch that every adult in higher education should be compelled to read., Drawing on history of religion, philosophy, and social history, this book explores the social construction of sin. It argues that sin, far from being simply a fixed and transcendental standard of human behavior, reveals itself as very much a human concept that is socially and historically conditioned while remaining a reality of the human condition.
